Claim 1: “The US supreme court demolished the 1965 Voting Rights Act when it ruled in Louisiana v Callais in April that states can’t consider race in redistricting.”
CORROBORATED
Multiple sources confirm the Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais in April. The evidence specifies that the court narrowed a central provision of the Voting Rights Act and ruled that Louisiana's map with two majority-Black districts was unconstitutional, supporting the claim that the court limited the consideration of race in redistricting.
